The MQM is very good and respectable party. Some of its elite, such as Subzwari, etc are very good asset to the party. They may have committed some crime but I am not aware of.
One thing I do know that my friend in Canada was confronted by a MQM active member. The friend had walked away from the MQM and stopped his donations in Karachi because his move to Canada.
This is what the friend told me:
" Three MQM members, on trip to Canada from Karachi, visited me at my place for dinner. After dinner, during the tea, one said
"Please reinstate the donation and we know where your sister lives in Karachi"
He explained this to an immigration attorney. His sister and family were in Canada in less 6 months. It amazed me at the how efficient that attorney was. He wouldn't tell me the details of what he did to get them over so quick.
I am not saying that bhatta khori, torture, threat of extinction etc is the official policy of the MQM, but the eventual blame will reach the top - Altaf bhai
AH has tarnished the image of once a well respected party by calling Pakistan a blunder and many others harkatein by him
He should call it quits and retire. Let someone new elected by the party run the business. The tarnished image will resurrect w/o delay.
But then again thats why he helped the PPP bring the 18th amendment.
